69. Affording strategic proximity to the Strait of Gibraltar, Morocco was also of interest to the French throughout the first half of the twentieth century because they assumed that if they did not hold it, their grip on Algeria was always insecure.

(A) if they did not hold it, their grip on Algeria was always insecure

(B) without it their grip on Algeria would never be secure

(C) their grip on Algeria was not ever secure if they did not hold it

(D) without that, they could never be secure about their grip on Algeria

(E) never would their grip on Algeria be secure if they did not hold it

答案为B，那么请问B中的it指代什么呢？是“Fench”嘛
还有为什么E不对呢，og中说

E.Inverted word order is awkward and confusing; it could refer to either Morocco or Algeria.
可是这里应该是什么样的order？这里it为什么都可以呢。。。
求指点啊。。。搞不懂。。。
谢谢><

it 指代 Morocco
The French 是复数。  their 指代 the french
E里面~ it前面有两个单数N, 所以指代模糊。 因为按照指代的优先性，就近指代。
without+n,... without可以引导虚拟语气~  
加油啦~ ^^

想请问为什么A是wordy呢？我觉得B会不会有些过于简洁了？

是因为if引导虚拟的时候，后面的was应该是were或者是would be

根据MANHATTAN，if 引导的从句中不能含有 WOULD， SHOULD

根据曼哈顿，if引导的从句的确不能含有would/should；假设虚拟语气中if...then...then从句部分是可以含would的；if...then...那五种结构曼哈顿有讲，看看哦

A的硬伤是then从句部分的时态错了

谢谢，讲得很清楚

请问下，由于if和would不能连用所以if就可以被省略是吗？
